Basically OpenGL is an API for communicating with the graphics card.

The good thing is that your preview monitor has accelerated preview utilizing the library. Of course contrary to adaptive resolution you can't see all applied effects in the output, because they can't be described with OpenGL. But you get faster 3D previews. Finally OpenGL loads the GPU freeing the CPU.

If you have open GL supported Graphic Card then its better.
